Today I went to Golden Gate Park (GGP) in the afternoon to play the Djembe for a while, the problem was the 43 bus, it took over 40 minutes southbound because of the airshow, and was *PACKED* to the gills, once I got to Haight, I got off and *walked* from Masonic to the end of Haight, and was as fast as the bus was.
The group at GGP was especially good today, got really syncopated rhythms. There were all types of percussion instruments, a didgeridoo, sax, and trumpet…super fun.
Then I left at 7:30 walked to Cole street, and just as I got there missed a #43 by about 1/2 block…Bummed out because I waited until 8:54 for the next one…over a !@#$%@^ing hour! (I felt really ripped off that the fare is an extra quarter now, and the service SUCKS, what’s worse, is I was late to Spanish on the #24 this week, as my class was at 5:30 and I left my house at 5:30 and the bus didn’t come till 6:25, so that meant I got to class at 6:55 and was late) I don’t know how they expect to gain ridership by raising the prices, and not having busses on time. I think it’s about time to write a scathing letter to MUNI.
Grrrrr.
